Chapter 7: Recruitment (First Update)

  Zhao Difei couldn't help but feel bitter and smile wryly, as these words were all directed at the Commander-in-Chief. However, Zhao Difei didn't have any good feelings towards Dong Qigong and his men either. It was no secret how they had entered the Third Army - it was to split the power, which was Chen's idea! It seemed that Mao Feng was following the Commander-in-Chief's instructions after all! No wonder this deputy officer would come to deliver the promotion order without any reason! So that's what it was.

  Zhao Difei turned around and said to Luo Jian: "Deputy Captain Luo, what do you think we should do?"

  Luo Jian angrily said: "Is this acceptable?! Openly insulting, this is shaking the military's morale!" After finishing speaking, Luo Jian turned to Zhao Di and said: "This is someone from your 3rd battalion, you deal with it! I will tell Commander-in-Chief about this, who would have thought that there are still such people, and they can be so arrogant?! It's really unclear whether this army belongs to the Commander-in-Chief or some other person?! This is simply too outrageous, if it weren't for Mao being in charge, what would the consequences be?!"

  Lu Jian's face was still filled with intense anger, but in his heart, he couldn't help but smile. Who didn't know that Dong Qigong was Zheng Ping's man? And who didn't know that Zheng Ping was General Chen's man? Haha, it seemed that the general's vision was indeed not bad!

  Mao Feng's current demeanor was not as sharp and revealing as before when dealing with Dong Qigong. At this moment, he said in a very wronged tone: "Superior officer, are you going to tell the commander-in-chief? Let the commander-in-chief take charge of me?! Brothers, we all came for the commander-in-chief! Isn't that right, brothers?"

  A row of warriors immediately responded in unison: "Yes! Yes!"

  Liu Chun spoke first, "We are all great generals, but there are some people who cannot tolerate us and will not accommodate us. These people's hearts are despicable, they have ulterior motives. If such people are not severely punished, what way out do we have?"

  When did Liu Chun have such eloquence? And spoke with such culture? This is simply unbelievable! People who know Liu Chun all react this way.

  However, some people immediately looked towards Mao Feng, they all knew that these words were probably instructed by Mao Feng, and only this person had such a level!

  The people in the second row are all complicated, the second row leader did not come because he had diarrhea, so the second company commander Dong Qigong personally brought the people of the second row over, and unexpectedly encountered such a situation.

  Dong Qigong's face turned pale, as white as a ghost, without a single hint of blood color. He shouted: "Mao Fengzhi, don't spout nonsense! I have no second intentions, I am loyal to the general with all my heart!"

  He didn't even believe what he was saying, but he knew he had to say it now, otherwise his life would be lost. He also pinned his hopes on the regimental commander and the division commander! He prayed that the division commander and the regimental commander could come over as soon as possible.

  But harsh reality told him that all of this was just a dream, and to this day, no one has come, which made him suddenly lose his energy and spirit, and he immediately became disheartened.

  Zhao Difei thought for three minutes, a full three minutes. At this time, Zhao Difei also figured it out. Standing in line was something that had to be done, and the difference between sooner or later was that he couldn't help but stand in line now.

  Zhao Difei also wanted to climb up, anyone would be like that, he was just the chief of staff, if he could become the head of a regiment, it would be much better than now and have more opportunities!

  Zhao Difei said coldly, "Since it's a matter of the Third Regiment, I have no choice but to take responsibility and give an explanation to the commander. The facts are clear: Dong Qigong is guilty of a crime that cannot be forgiven. Take him away and execute him on the spot!"

  Dong Qigong thought to himself that he was in danger this time, but when he really heard the order, he shouted loudly: "No, it can't be like this! I have also made contributions for the general, I don't want to die, I won't die!"

  As he spoke, he looked at Mao Fengzhi and begged: "Mao Fengzhi, Brother Feng, I was blind to your greatness, please forgive me! I'm willing to let you be the company commander, and I'll be a low-ranking soldier. Save me, I really don't dare anymore! I really don't dare!"

  Huang Mingyang came up at this time, he said in a low voice to Mao Feng: "Squad leader, Dong Lianzhang has an elderly mother at home and his life is not very good, can we spare him?"

  Mao Feng glanced at Huang Mingyang lightly, and although it was unintentional, he saw a hint of anger in Mao's eyes. This made him tremble inwardly, and he immediately lowered his head and took a step back, not daring to speak again. Huang Mingyang knew that he had made a bad impression on the team leader.

  Mao Feng said faintly: "Military discipline must be strict, only then can we have an invincible army! This is the kind of army a great general should have!"

  At this time, a row of people had already tied up Dong Qigong. Two soldiers were dragging him out. Not long after, Dong Qigong's screams were covered by two gunshots, and the screams stopped abruptly.

  Everyone was chilled by Mao Feng's ruthless and decisive killing, while Luo Jian and Zhao Difei secretly raised their evaluation of Mao Feng by several levels! If not, how could he stand in the military?!

  Zhao Difei knew that if he didn't handle things properly today, he wouldn't be able to enjoy good fruit in the future!

  "Alright, now let's get down to business!" Luo Jian said at this time.

  Luo Jian solemnly faced Mao Feng and said: "Mao Feng, listen to the orders of the team leader!"

  "Present! Please give your orders, sir!" Maofeng shouted loudly with his feet together.

  Luo Jian immediately pulled out the appointment letter, and after reading it aloud, he smiled and said: "From now on, you are the commander of the 3rd Engineer Battalion. I hope you can continue to do a good job and not disappoint Generalissimo, nor lose face for him! You must be cautious against arrogance and rashness, and strive for new achievements!"

  After Mao Feng's respectful bow, he said in a low voice: "I am willing to serve General Da, I am willing to sacrifice my life and death, without regret! I will not disappoint General Da's expectations!"

  Luo Jian's face showed a satisfied smile, he said: "Very good, very good, work hard!" After finishing speaking, he turned to Zhao Difei and said: "General Zhao, come with me to meet the commander-in-chief!"

  Mao Feng didn't make a sound, he knew that some things were not for him to participate in at this time. After all, his capital was insufficient and he didn't have enough energy! However, he could prepare himself well, opportunities would only be given to those who are prepared.

  Mao Feng was very decisive, the first thing he wanted to do was to immediately integrate the second platoon, at this time, he was already the company commander, and what he said went, it would be best if he could integrate the entire second company.

  Less than an hour, the troops were fully integrated! Liu Chun became the squad leader of the second squad, Huang Mingyang was the squad leader of the first squad, and Jia Cheng was the squad leader of the third squad. The third squad was composed of captured bandits and villagers, and it was also the largest and most difficult squad to manage. After all, Mao Feng placed the highest expectations on Jia Cheng.

  There are only a few people on hand, and officers are in short supply. They can only make do with this. Mao Feng stood facing the entire company of soldiers and said: "The 2nd Company's 3rd Platoon has not yet been integrated, now we need to integrate the 3rd Platoon, brothers, do you have confidence?"

  "Yes!" the warriors thundered in response.

  Maofeng nodded and said: "First row, second row stay behind, enter combat state, if suspicious targets are found, take them down immediately. If attacked, give me a good fight!"

  Mao Feng then turned to Jia Cheng and said: "Third row, follow me, go to first row!"

  Jia Cheng did not hesitate at all and responded loudly: "Yes!"

  Liu Chun and Huang Mingyang were both shocked, how could this be possible? These three rows are all what kind of people, everyone knows that! But still have to go to the third row, now the situation in the third row is unclear, the risks inside can be imagined. Now everyone knows they've already taken sides, if Mao Feng has any accidents, wouldn't it mean they're completely out of luck? Just as they were about to say something...

  "Don't worry about anything? The three rows of warriors are all my soldiers, I have confidence in them! They are also the soldiers of Mao Fengzhi and the brothers of Mao Fengzhi."

  It has to be said that Mao Feng's words made those people in the third row feel a little strange, and the villagers who were born as soldiers felt a bit moved, while the outsiders who incited the villagers to attack the army also felt a bit touched.

  Not many people are like Mao Feng, these outsiders also have to admire him. They now all have guns in their hands and do not know where they will go next.

  These changes were all seen in Mo Feng's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He faced Jia Cheng and said: "Let's go!"

  With a loud noise, they set off. Mao Feng then arrived at the side of a bearded man in his thirties, approaching forty years old.

  "I don't care what you were before, but now you're my person, my soldier. So now every word and action of yours represents me, Mao Fengzhi. I'm not afraid of you secretly attacking me. What is revolution? Whose life are we overthrowing? Look! How many years has it been since the Xinhai Revolution, but what's the state of the people's lives? Haven't you thought about this? Why do warlords keep multiplying and never get eliminated? Military governors? Ha ha, why is the Beiyang government a legitimate government while the southern government is an illegal one? Why isn't it recognized by countries around the world? Don't think too highly of yourself. People living in this world mostly just want to live a little better. You or those behind you can't represent the people! If you don't understand, then follow me wholeheartedly!"

  After finishing speaking, Mao Fengzhi didn't say another word and silently proceeded forward! As for this man, he seemed to be thinking deeply. When they approached the third row of dwellings, he finally spoke up, saying: "Since you have saved my life, I'll follow you first and do things with you? If you're also like those people, then it would be a shame!"

  In December 1922, when the Guangdong-Guangxi war was about to start, Mao Bingzhi suddenly disarmed the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 3rd Army and captured the entire 2nd Company. On January 1, 1923, the Engineer Corps was established with a total of five platoons, making it a truly reinforced company!

  Thank you for Bulaige Xiao Hai's strong support, and congratulations on becoming the first leader of the fans list!
